With the distribution of toys for local kids in need scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 23, this week will see the final push for donations to the Escalon Fire Department’s annual toy drive. For the past few years, the local firefighters have worked in cooperation with the Escalon American Legion Post, area businesses, the Escalon Police Department and a number of community service clubs and volunteers to help meet the demand for holiday gifts for residents in need. Fire officials will be out to pick up the boxes late next week so the goal is to get all of them filled with gifts.
